Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20

Blended with 2% Sémillon. Fermented in stainless steel, with extended lees contact.

Open nose and a little less tight than the Savage Salt River Sauvignon 2023. Not sure it's worth ageing this long? 

Drink 2023 - 2026

Neal Martin 86/100

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in stainless steel from their eight hectares of vine. Simple green apple and gooseberry scents on the nose with just a touch of bell pepper. The palate offers sour lemon on the entry, well-balanced but unapologetically straightforward in style.

Drink 2023 - 2026

About this wine

Constantia

Constantia

The historically important if tiny wine district of Constantia lies in Cape Town’s southern wards, and on the most southerly point of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope. It is most famous for its ancient dessert wine Vin de Constance, as produced by Klein Constantia estate. The cooling, south-easterly sea breezes make Constantia a natural site for Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as Muscat.
